List of psychological tricks that casinos use.

[AbuBhakar]

A land-based casino has a different atmosphere that is very different from all the places that you visited to get entertained all of these is to make you feel at home, they offer free drinks, food, and entertainment so you forget the outside world I read in one article that some gamblers can stay in casinos for weeks or even months because they have a hotel nearby, that is why many casinos are located inside the hotels, they both make profit from the presence of gamblers, of course on an online casino you can play whenever you want to play you don't have to dress up or the need to drive if you have the urge you are one click away, and that's already a big temptation.

Agreed. This only show how good they are on marketing there business. There main source of profit is for players lose there money in there games and they are using this feel at home vibes to let player stay and spend more to convert on casino profit. People knows it but they keep on coming because they love the entertainment that they are getting on it. This psychological tactic is not a trick at all because players knew it and they just like it. This is a marketing strategy in my opinion.

2. You have your phone with you or your own wrist watch?

3. Much better. You can at least set a budget how much you will be spending when buying credits/chips.

Casinos are a business so we cannot really blame them when they try to obtain as many profits a possible, one very basic trick they have on their design, especially those big casinos at Las Vegas, is that you cannot go to your hotel room without going through the casino, this is done to tempt you, that way unless you are completely determined to not gamble that day something could catch your eye and you may decide to gamble out of impulse, then casinos can use their many other tactics to keep you gambling and spending more money than what you had in mind.

Particularly, the offline casino doesn't have windows where you can look outside. Even their toilet rooms do smell great that I once ate my choco bar inside it. Its gross I know but I've seen gamblers sleep inside the cubicle for hours. Speaking of ladies, casinos intentionally hire sexy dealers with big tits like in online casinos to deal cards.  That's a psychological trick.

This is how some of the casino work in our country too. They even give you some free bet vouchers to try their casino games when you check-in on their hotel. You will definitely be tempted to gamble because of those free bets they gave you especially if you managed to win some amounts.

Food is also the one that some of the hotel casino usually do to attract people to gamble. There are some people that gambles on those casinos for the snacks that they're offering.

[Peanutswar]

With the casino it is good that they make their onsite more aesthetically pleasing to their players at the same time has a good and fast quality of service so they came back, again and again, to enjoy with their satisfaction that's why they are the one of the most favorite place in terms of entertainment, and if this is an online gambling casino most of the time people are seeking for the good UI/UX by that they can easily courage to explore in their website and next is the fast transactions, service and a lot of bonuses, boost and more so players will now make a game to their platform.

[blockman]

And that's why casinos will offer a venue for meetings and the gambler will have it decided that it seems to be a good place for such meetings and gatherings.
That will really encourage customers to use that place of theirs and eventually if it happens, the invited guests are going to get curious about the games and then soon, they're the next potential customers.

I find it common when talking about the design and strategy of the physical casino and the malls itself since most of them are almost the same. They have a good interior design that will make you comfortable plus there are no clocks and windows although there are no free seats but if you go to the food store there's a lot of them. I guess it's to prevent people from staying in one place that would most likely not gonna attract to the other stores while the casino they have seats but only available in every table or machine that you want to play.

Yes, that's a way to attract people to be their guests and customers that will eventually spend money that shall go to the revenue of the establishment.
It's a common way and practice for these businesses to have a good type of design so that they won't be missing the attractiveness of their business alone.

[Yaunfitda]

The clock though it is very obvious, they don't put one so that you won't notice the time and even if you have your own watch, you will seldom look at it specially if you are winning.

And yeah, the design, the placement of the slots and then they will get the slot that will have a good audio and sound in front to that when someone comes in, the first thing they noticed is that machine. I still remember one player, he says that when he ever goes to a casino, those slot machines seems to be calling him, lol.

These tricks are not being used only by casinos, the saying “we eat with our eyes first” is a very old one! Make someone feel comfortable, nice music, nice surroundings, pleasant and fine girls, and man will spend money! It can be a casino or restaurant, any big store or whatever! I know it works on me definitely!

When it comes to online casinos we all look for UI that suits us, we like when everything is well arranged and easily accessible! People consume with their eyes and if don't like how it looks we will not spend time there, more important we will not spend money there!

Particularly, the offline casino doesn't have windows where you can look outside. Even their toilet rooms do smell great that I once ate my choco bar inside it. Its gross I know but I've seen gamblers sleep inside the cubicle for hours. Speaking of ladies, casinos intentionally hire sexy dealers with big tits like in online casinos to deal cards.  That's a psychological trick.

Hmmm! It is possible to see some part of ladies breast to be naked in this modern time, but how come you were able to see the ladies tits (nipples) in casino?  

You are not wrong because the ladues hired in casinos are having good stature, shape, curves and they are attractive, even while speaking and the way they do is sexy and professional. Men like that and because of that, they will spend more time in casino.

In online casinos, having good website, good customer care, fast withdrawal, deposit bonus and promotional offers will help to let online casino to move forward and progressing.

Maybe 100 years ago these tricks worked, but now it sounds ridiculous. Luxurious design? - firstly, this is subjective, and secondly, in any store/club/other institution, the decoration is no worse. Missing a watch? - I can't remember the last time I saw a watch not in a watch store, it's just irrelevant in the age of smartphones. The only thing that somehow works is cashless games, although now most people initially use bank cards, so the impact of this item is minimal.

So some of these tricks are;
1. Enticing Design - You know casinos spend a whole lot to ensure that their interiors are exquisite and speak luxury, you always want to come back.

It's true, the environment will make you feel comfortable.

2. Lack of Clocks and Natural Light - No clock means you won't be able to know when it's time to go, the more time you spend, the money you spend.

I didn't know why I didn't notice that. I was trying to shake my memory of when I was in a big poker room before, and yes I don't remember a clock being there. I always look at my Nokia phone  (old school) to determine the time.

3. Cashless Games - You buy credit for slots or chips, so you also may not be able to keep track of your money.
others according to the article are: Stimulating Lights and Sounds, Memorable Scents, Near-Misses, Familiar Concepts, a Sense of Control.

I always knew how much I spent because most of the time I just buy the minimum cash in. For the rich though, this is real.

Now I understand that Online casinos are not left out and also apply some psychological tricks on us. The aim of these topic is not to say that it is bad as all businesses have their methods to increase profits, but for us to collectively highlight some psychology that online casinos can use. I have identified some as they are similar to those the articles highlighted as it seemed to be mostly focused on offline casinos, they are;
1. Good and user friendly design.
2. Cashless games is definitely among.
3. Stimulating sounds seem to be one. (Please add to the list)

As I said above, they will always try to make you feel comfortable, at home. You can even buy your food and drinks or they can serve them to you so that you won't need to come out. Because once you do, there's a chance you will think about how much you spent and go straight home.

Speaking of ladies, casinos intentionally hire sexy dealers with big tits like in online casinos to deal cards.  That's a psychological trick.

Hmmm! It is possible to see some part of ladies breast to be naked in this modern time, but how come you were able to see the ladies tits (nipples) in casino?  

You are not wrong because the ladues hired in casinos are having good stature, shape, curves and they are attractive, even while speaking and the way they do is sexy and professional. Men like that and because of that, they will spend more time in casino.

The ladies have been known for this lately and they understand this as part of their employment. For the offline casinos, the ladies really go as far as dressing to attract men and their male friends usually cluster at the game house . And like I said it is also part of the practice with online where casino website use women for marketing.

In online casinos, having good website, good customer care, fast withdrawal, deposit bonus and promotional offers will help to let online casino to move forward and progressing.

This is true especially for promotional offers because that will be first attracting factor for a new player to come around and try before others you mentioned will follow. People like gift and things they benefit above the worth of what their money can afford for them. Like it doesn't kill if you pay for one and get two or more for free.

The clock is a trick borrowed from supermarkets,in most modern European supermarkets there are no clocks so people can buy more things,the same concept is applied to casinos because it is a proven working one.I think that what entices most gamblers in these land line casinos is what I see lacking here the free drinks concept.Most casinos where I live when they were operating as now they are all banned except the biggest one which is outside the city,they were offering free drinks and sometimes even snacks,I got there with friends and while I gambled a couple of my friends that were only being company to me were getting free energy drinks and vodka or whisky so this was why they came with me.I think this should be definitely added to the tricks casinos use to get more and more gamblers to play there and spend their money there.

Yes, that's true because casinos know how to provide interesting things to their users so that they can return to their casinos. Sometimes, they notify the promotion via the user's email and provide some kind of useful code to be able to get certain bonuses. By using everything that can keep the user coming back, the casino can definitely be the one that the user recommends to his friends. This can be an effective strategy for the casino to grow its business and reach more members in the future.

Yes, one of the mainstays of attracting customers from casinos is that the drinks are usually free and there are also some free snacks, and that's usually in the big casinos.
In fact by giving out free drinks to customers, casinos help weaken the customer's decision making skills which means you tend to spend more money and time inside the casino.
and there's my park that bets its money on too much alcohol, in the bigger casinos, and the drinks are free because they expect you to lose because you'll be playing out of control and having a hard time concentrating. Unknowingly your losses include free drinks and food.
Casinos will use various means to attract customers and enjoy the amenities, beauty, fragrance and so on and go home with nothing.

I am by no means a psychologist or neurologist but I am pretty sure that the gambling casinos also use lights and sounds to entice people into gambling. Maybe even small wins are used strategically to entice more gambling. I know (from documentaries) that the supermarkets we buy food at even use lighting, product placements, colors and mirrors to psychologically trick people into buying stuff they never even wanted in the first place when they entered the shop.

If it were up to me, all those kinds of dirty tactics should be outlawed. Its basically almost the definition of scamming/tricking people.

On more thing the casinos like to do is install air filters that keep the air clean and adds fresh oxygen to it. This helps to make the gamblers feel more awake and fresh. Together with the no window rule the time will pass more quickly. I remember my first few nights in Las Vegas leaving the casinos and realising that's it already 6am and the sun is up again. The whole concept of physical casinos is entertainment, free alcohol while gambling is a big part of it. For online casinos all these things are not an option, for them the casino games itself are the focus. I wasn't aware that casinos play thei music, my browser might have the sounds turned off and I mostly listen to my own music or have the TV running in the background. I think having a large variety of different casino games is the best for online casinos to stand out from others and keep the gambler engage the longest.

For number 2 on the list in the article for traditional casinos, seems can't be done in online casinos since there's predetermined clock in our phones. I think the future of online casinos are to be hyper realistic that people may think we're still in the physical setting and I think the Metaverse is the key to this success.

[Johnyz]

Particularly, the offline casino doesn't have windows where you can look outside. Even their toilet rooms do smell great that I once ate my choco bar inside it. Its gross I know but I've seen gamblers sleep inside the cubicle for hours. Speaking of ladies, casinos intentionally hire sexy dealers with big tits like in online casinos to deal cards.  That's a psychological trick.

Most of the dealer in online casinos are women, and the casinos hire them for the very specific reason, to attract gamblers so they can stay longer. Though having no windows are pretty normal, but if you go to the casinos you can just easily go out and see what time is it using watches or your phone because it's not prohibited to have your phones with you. Tricks like this are still working honestly, we might not know the real numbers but casinos are doing great job on this, they also adopt the new technology just to keep updated and stay in the business.
